Chapter 435: No Longer Alone
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
After God knows how long, Li Yao felt that he had turned into a drill pushing forward helically in the sticky darkness .
After each rotation, he would move forward one centimeter; another rotation, he'd move another centimeter . He kept moving forward, forward, and forward, until the thick darkness was broken through and he saw vague brightness in front of him again .
His consciousness hadn't regained control over his brain yet, but he heard whispers beside his ears, as if many mice were talking,
"The technology of the Star Ocean Imperium is indeed impressive! 95% of the power rune arrays are no strangers to us . But look at their construction model! With the same spiritual runes and energy intensity, the impetus that their power rune arrays can provide is dozens of times greater than ours!
"The mustard-level maintainers are amazing, too! The Heaven's Origin Sector has only just started studying the mysteries of the mustard-level world . Although we can also manufacture mustard-level magical equipment that is one billionth the size of sand, we are not capable of carving so many rune arrays to endow it with such amazing repairing ability!"
"Treasury! Sparkle is truly a boundless treasury! If we can scrutinize everything on board, the development level of the refining techniques of the Heaven's Origin Sector will leap forward by at least thirty years!"
The voices turned into earsplitting noises in Li Yao's muddled brain, giving him a headache instead of actual meanings .
Li Yao blinked his eyes hard . After each blink, the blurry picture in front of his eyes became somewhat clearer . After hundreds of blinks, he finally realized that it was the cracking ceiling in the cockpit that he had been staring at the whole time .
Sparkle still existed!
'I'm not dead? I'm still in the cockpit? Sparkle didn't explode, either?'
Pictures popped up in Li Yao's brain like fist jumping out of the water . Li Yao remembered everything .
He remembered that more and more meteorites hit through the cockpit and brushed past him, whacking the mainframe crystal processor into garbage .
He punched at the cosmic storm and the cascade of meteorites, but the vacuum took all his attacks .
Until in the end, a gold meteorite the size of a fist rushed close and hit his chest brutally…
Li Yao was great alarmed . He lowered his head and examined his chest in a hurry .
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was already on the verge of destruction . But there was a lot of silver brightness on the cracks in its chest . The mustard-level maintainers seemed to have mended it in time .
His ribs were still aching, many of which must've broken . There was also a large area of bruising on his chest, as if it had been burnt by purple fire .
Li Yao was baffled . The gold meteorite had been travelling at an incredibly high a speed yet dealt such little damage . It didn't even pierce through his body?
How uncanny!
Quite a lot of silver powders were left on the skin of his chest . Several silver scraps even stabbed into his chest, but not very deeply . Therefore, he didn't feel much pain .
It appeared that some silver metal object had exploded in front of his chest and resisted the catastrophe for him .
"It was my Soul Condensing Pendant! My Soul Condensing Pendant is gone!"
Li Yao felt that his neck was empty . Extending one of his spiritual threads to sense the situation, he found that the pendant hanging on his neck had disappeared .
Three years ago, on the very first day of his life in the Grand Desolate War Institution, the test of the super-compressed crystal reactor had failed, leading to a calamitous explosion in which almost all of the professors and students of the Refining Department perished . But there was not a single spectral Cultivator that survived the disaster . The only thing left on the spot was the remnant of a half-melted Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit .
However, a year and a half later, Li Yao had perceived weird spiritual waves from the remnant of the crystal suit . It was then that he'd learnt that not everyone in the accident had been burnt into nothingness . Some professors and students had fled to the interior of the crystal reactor at the critical moment, but only ended up being Phantom Entities, a life form that was even more queer than regular ghosts!
Phantom Entities were scraps of ghosts in the two-dimensional universe . They had no self-awareness and no memories . The only thing that they possessed was the last bit of the perseverance that motivated them to never give up!
That day, Li Yao had vowed to the Phantom Entities that he would let them resume their past and consciousness, let them remember who they were and where they were going to, and let them be unfolded from the two-dimension to the three-dimension, so that they would turn from Phantom Entities to spectral Cultivators that could Cultivate again!
The source of these particular Phantom Entities' perseverance was the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit .
Therefore, Li Yao had refined a Soul Condensing Pendant and hidden all the Phantom Entities within . He had been wearing the pendant through all the fierce battles that he had been engaged in with the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit .
Although the reactions from the Phantom Entities were more and more intense, the crucial leap never happened .
When one died, one would be gone for all eternity . It was an arduous task to regather the souls when they had already dispersed .
Never did he expect that the Soul Condensing Pendant would block a meteorite and save his life one day .
However, the Phantom Entities residing inside the pendant, his professors and Senior Brothers, were probably truly gone this time without the slightest race left, were they not?
Li Yao sighed and extended his arm, trying to touch his chest where the pendant had been hanging, only to tear one of his wounds open . The pain was so excruciating that he gasped .
The whispers which sounded like mice drifted into his ears again .
"Excellent! Li Yao has woken up!"
"Great! How long till the med bay is ready?"
